Ready To Date

The upside
to being stuck in bed ill is I’ve managed to do some research for some upcoming
posts, the downside to being ill is I think it’s all ridiculous and complete
bullshit. I was looking into a piece I planned to write on “how do you know
when you’re ready to date again” after researching the topic for 5 minutes I lost
the will to live let alone date.

Some of the “indicators”
these sites were using are hilarious and clearly written by people grasping at straws.
Some of my favorites include….

“You know
you’re ready to date, when you’re interested in men again.” – Call me crazy, but
a breakup has never affected my sexuality; my interest has never waned, just my
ability to tolerate.

“You know
you’re ready to date again when you don’t have any baggage left.” – Everyone has
baggage, that’s what makes us, us. Whether it’s shaped you in a positive way or
a negative way every relationship leave you with some sort of baggage. That's life.

“You know
you’re ready to date when your motives are pure.” – I actually laughed out loud
at this one. Admittedly, I did find this one on a Christian dating site, but it
doesn’t change the fact it is ridiculous. If your thoughts are completely pure
when you start dating someone you’re dating the wrong person. There should be
some element of rip their clothes off lust.

After that
one I gave up on the subject and decided on this, if you’re asking the question
you’re not ready to date and if the question is being asked by those around
you, who fucking cares what they think, only you get to decide what is right
for you. Remember that.

Anyways, I
am going to go and try and write another post, but with that said my temperature
is back and I need a nap. But before I go I have this question for you; what is
the worse dating advice you’ve ever received? Let me know in the comments below
and as always, stay and play safe.
